His most eminent representative‚ however‚ was the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei. In the field of physics‚ Galileo made the first laws of motion; in the astronomy department‚ he confirmed the Copernican theory with his telescopic observations. But none of these valuable contributions have had such significant consequences as the introduction of
